I didn't even see this after I've added it. I've even logged in, logged out, turned my phone on and off closed the app, reopened it and I still don't see anything that has anything to do with it! If that changes I will reevaluate my review.

Does what it says on the tin, great accessibility tool! Gives me the *option* to mask or show passwords, rather than having the choice made for me. Would like a way to change style of the button (mine shows as white text highlighted in red, and that's hard to see) but that's my only quibble. Doesn't seem to work on all sites, but many do.
